Outside the city gate, a carriage gradually left Kyoto and headed towards the border.
Su Yan pulled off the sweat towel hanging on the window and wiped his mouth, and reminded Xilou: "I won't be back for ten days and half a month. I wonder if I can bring enough dry food? I have eaten a lot.
"
Xilou leaned his back against the corner and looked at her: "You love eating so much, so naturally you bring enough."
Su Yan added: "Although Chu's cuisine is not the best in the world, it is still one of the best. When we get there, let's go to Xianhe Tower first and order his signature dishes, and then go to Wanhua Winery to drink in the evening. It's the right time now.
Hundreds of flowers are blooming, and all kinds of wine will be delicious!" As he spoke, he started to yearn for it, and he smacked his lips happily, as if he was really drinking it.
Xilou shook his head helplessly: "I thought you were led astray by Jin Guan and the others after you came to Kyoto. It turns out...that's your nature!"
Su Yan was dissatisfied: "What you said is really interesting, as if I have led the students astray!"
Xilou chuckled: "It's good to be self-aware, that's good!"
"Look at how proud you are. When I get to Chu, I'll go play by myself. You're not familiar with the place and you don't have me to guide you. You should regret it!"
Su Yan turned away angrily. Seeing her anger, Xilou pushed her tentatively: "You just said it casually, are you really angry?"
"Pooh!"
Xilou smiled apologetically: "Good Ayan, don't get angry with me, it will hurt your body!"
"..."
"When you arrive in Chu State, I will buy you delicious food, such as sweet-scented osmanthus cake, milk cake, chicken legs and lamb legs..."
"Are you a bitch?"
The chicken legs that Xilou took out from nowhere were dangling in front of her: "There are dog legs but there are no chicken legs. If you miss this village, you won't have this shop!"
"Who cares!"
"Isn't that rare?" Xilou looked at her suspiciously, "Then I'll eat it myself, just this one...don't regret it!"
Su Yan took advantage of his hesitation and snatched it over at lightning speed, smiled proudly at him, and ate it up.
Xilou wiped the robe embroidered with wintersweet back and forth twice, then crossed his arms and stared at her.
The sunlight passed through the swinging curtains and fell on his face, warming his whole body.
Zhao State Border Station.
A group of men in black rushed in quickly and rushed to the corridor on the second floor in an instant. With a "boom", they all knelt on one knee.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, except for the sound of the wind blowing outside the door.
A series of muffled sounds slowly approached from the other end of the corridor. The man in black did not dare to look, but lowered his head and waited with bated breath.
Mo Fei, who was wearing a dark blue official robe, a leather belt around his waist, and cloud shoes, came slowly. He was clearly in his sixties, but his face did not look like that of his age at all. If the people in black hadn't known him before,
Knowing that he is cunning and ruthless, I am afraid that he must be mistaken for some handsome man!
Mo Fei stopped and held an opened letter in his hand: "Xi Lou and Su Yan left Rong State and headed towards Chu State. What do you think they did?"
The people in black looked at each other, not daring to say a word.
"Of course they diverted to Liangshan. Do you think they went to Liangshan to target me?" He received no response, so he continued, "Finally we have reached this point. In this game, he and I,
Someone has to die."
Three provinces and six ministries were involved in troubles one after another. Mo Fei was not without suspicion. He had stayed put for the past few days just to see what tricks they could come up with. Now it seemed that they were trying to divert the tiger away from the mountain! While he was filled with praise, he was also full of hatred.
In the past few years, Mo Fei has devoted all his efforts to cultivating him, and he has treated him as his son. He never thought that this person had a deep scheming mind and had hidden him for so many years! Unfortunately, Zuo Qing was still young, and he made the wrong move, and his identity was finally exposed.
"I have placed you here all these years, and today, I finally have the opportunity to use it! I will definitely place your wife and children in your home properly, and reward them with gold, silver, clothes, and silk. They will not suffer for the rest of their lives." After that, he tore up the letter paper.
, discarded in the air.
The people in black prostrate themselves on the ground, as if worshiping, and Murphy is their belief.
Late at night, the moonlight fell on the stream, and the sparkling water reflected two people, one tall and one short. Xilou was caressing Su Yan's hair, and she had already fallen asleep on the haystack.
After driving for many days, seeing the country of Chu getting closer and closer, Xilou felt increasingly uneasy.
If nothing else goes wrong, Mo Fei will arrive in the Kingdom of Zhao in the next few days. The King of Zhao is difficult to deal with, so it should be delayed for a few days, but... Liangshan's investigation will be difficult and tortuous. If you make a wrong step, it will attract Mo Fei's attention, and it will become more and more difficult next time.
It's difficult to move forward, and even all efforts are wasted...
Xilou's eyebrows couldn't help but tighten, and he took a deep breath before feeling a little relieved. Seeing that the sky was getting brighter and it was not easy to stay any longer, he carefully covered Su Yan with a blanket and handed some silver coins to his confidant who had been waiting beside him.
Drive away on horseback.
He hurried back to Liangshan, but when he stepped into the inn, he heard an overwhelming sound coming from far behind him. He carefully identified it and found that the sound was getting closer and closer. It seemed to be calling his name, with a tinge of emotion.
Burning anger, with a few curse words thrown in from time to time...
Xilou trembled all over, and when he turned around, he bumped into Su Yan's face that was almost cannibalistic. He stumbled and asked: "You, why are you here...how are you here?!"
Su Yan took a few breaths and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Do you know how dangerous it is to leave me alone there? What will I do if I meet a gangster? Why did I provoke you and you want to leave me?!"
By the end of the sentence, there were already tears in my eyes, and I looked very pitiful.
The heart-wrenching cries attracted the crowd of inn guests. They didn't know the reason. They only made conclusions based on what they saw. In the end, they all defined the pitiful woman at the door as a good family woman abandoned by a heartless man. It is true that Su Yan also
It can be considered a good family, but in the eyes of everyone, this heartless man really dare not bear this reputation.
Xilou hurriedly pushed her out of the inn and hid by the door. Because of Su Yan's sudden appearance, surprise, panic, and fear were all piled up in his chest. It was difficult to digest for a while. In the end, he only asked: "How did you get here?"
!”
Su Yan sniffed and wiped his tears, "Well, Xilou, we agreed to go to Chu State together, but you left me halfway. You are so mean!"
"Come on!" Xilou naturally could see that Su Yan was pretending. If the gangster really targeted her, he would be hit with a disaster! Xilou looked at her helplessly, "You have already punished her in front of so many people just now.
Why don't you feel relieved after killing me? Tell me, where is Lao Qiao?"
Su Yan smiled proudly: "That old man, he seemed to be chasing me when I stole the carriage, but..." She pretended to look back, and said regretfully, "Maybe I fell into some kind of trap or quagmire on the way here.
Or maybe it’s an invisible dry well!”
Xilou's heart suddenly jumped up, and his eyes widened in surprise: "You just let it go?"
"What about me?" Su Yan said angrily, "When I woke up and suddenly found you missing, I thought that old Qiao had killed you! If he hadn't been so strong in martial arts, he might have been beaten into a pig's head by me. What do you have?
There are things that cannot be said in person. If you think it will be troublesome for me to follow you, you don’t have to do so. Just say it and I will go by myself!"
Xilou held her in his arms, feeling full of self-blame: "How could I bother you! I had something urgent to do and couldn't wake you up to say goodbye. Old Qiao is a very skilled martial artist and is my confidant.
, I feel relieved to keep you company, and I will explain to you when you wake up. But I didn’t expect you to worry about me...I’m sorry, I was reckless."
There is an indescribable feeling in Xilou's arms. It's a very contradictory feeling. He is such a gentle young man, but sometimes there is a chill everywhere, just like a fine jade pendant. It seems warm and delicate, but in fact it is ice.
It was cold to the bone. Su Yan suddenly thought about the worry that he had buried deep down, and that was his identity. He once suspected that Xilou's appearance was too coincidental. It was when the former prince was discovered and assassinated again, and
Fo Zhen also mentioned that the Xilou at this moment is very different from the Xilou in the past. Although it has been impossible and inconvenient to confirm, but... women's intuition has always been very accurate!
Su Yan couldn't help but feel uneasy about such a person who was shrouded in fog.
"Now that I've made it clear, then...I'll forgive you for the time being."
Xilou felt relieved and hugged her tighter. However, the face of the person in his arms gradually dimmed, and the light in his eyes disappeared.
At night, Su Yan sat in front of the window, overlooking the empty street scene. Liangshan is located at the junction of countries, where there is a mixture of fish and dragons, and forces are intertwined. Countless invisible people are lurking here, relying on the special characteristics of Liangshan to do invisible things here.
The buying and selling of people, ranging from the exchange of goods to the selling of state secrets, the local government turned a blind eye and never suppressed it. But going back ten years ago, Liangshan was a simple border town, relying on various countries
It thrived due to trade, and there were several famous generals who guarded the borders and kept the country stable. But the arrival of Mo Fei completely changed everything here. The government officials accepted bribes and the garrison was replaced. In just half a year, the entire Liangshan
The order was completely paralyzed, replaced by dark transactions and powers that covered the sky with one hand.
Su Yan's impression of this place still remains when he followed Zuo Qing through it. Hongji Town is adjacent to Liangshan. At that time, he could see many people besides the people of Rongguo. Now that he thinks about it, there should be disguises among those people.
It is the work of an ordinary person, a dead man in the world. Presumably for this reason, every house here is closed after nightfall to isolate it from danger.
But...what is Xilou doing here?
In the wing next door, dim candlelight illuminates the face of the west building, and its carved outline is reflected on the wall, pulled by the candlelight and somewhat distorted. The moon is hanging high outside the window, and the green tiles are shining with a faint luster in the moonlight. He is far away.
Looking from a distance, something the size of a fly was jumping on the roof, getting closer and closer, and in a blink of an eye, it was outside the window. The man was sitting on the windowsill with the moonlight on his back, his legs hanging, swinging slowly.
"I haven't seen you for many years, but you finally remembered me. You don't know, I'm almost growing grass in this shabby place!" The man was wearing a face covering, looking like a master, but not a serious master.
Because he had been sitting in the same position for a long time, Xilou found that his waist was a little numb. He twisted his back slightly and said comfortably: "Your master Sheng Ruyu is not only a martial arts master, but also handsome and unrestrained. He has many officials."
All the young ladies in the family have fallen under his robe. You have been following him for so many years, and you have become quite beautiful!"
The man chuckled: "You remember it so clearly."
"Not only do I remember this, I also remember that Senior Sheng likes to make bets with others. If he loses, he will pay for a sword and make it himself..."
The man smiled, laughing at the fact that the master used to have a lot of money at home and spent extravagantly.
Xilou added: "I am not talented. I once bet with Senior He Sheng and won by a narrow margin. He kept his promise and gave me a fan as a gift one month later." He opened the portable folding fan, and the fan appeared differently under different light sources.
The texture and color of this fan, "This fan contains hidden secrets, and it can kill people invisible. I only met Senior Sheng a few times, but he actually knows me well and generously gave it to me. It's really admirable, but it's a pity..."
"What's the pity?" The man listened intently, but Xilou's memories suddenly stopped, and he was a little unhappy.
"It's a pity that you failed to inherit even a shred of his character." Xilou looked at him indifferently, fanning himself leisurely when his hands were free.
The man jumped out of the window angrily: "How about you tell me where I have no moral character?"
Xilou grinned, and his smile was extremely superficial: "Late! Your master is most taboo with these two words. Do you think this is considered immoral?"
The man choked at Xilou's words and suddenly lost his momentum: "Isn't it... I was discovered when I climbed over the wall, so it was a little late!"
"A little late?" Xilou stared at him in surprise. Such a shameless person is really rare! "It's good for you to have an appointment with Haichu, but it's a full hour late. What are you doing? Where did you climb over the wall to get in?
Are you living in a widow’s house?!”
The face covered by the mask turned away to the side, and seemed to be a little ashamed: "Come on, don't be sarcastic when we rarely meet, your mouth is meaner than Zuo Qing!"
"Then why don't you take off your mask?"
"Isn't this just in case? If the partition wall has eyes, there will be one less person to get in, right?"
"How many apprentices does Sheng Ruyu have in total?"
"One!"
"What did I just say?"
"..."
The man looked up to the sky and sighed, your grandfather's traitor is indeed a traitor! He reluctantly took off his mask, which revealed the face of a middle-aged man. He groped for a while on his face, and then continued to tear off a human skin mask,
Throwing it on the table, the candle flickered for a moment and returned to light.
Under the candlelight, there was a young face, ordinary in appearance, but with a pair of bright eyes. He sat across from the west building and scratched his itchy chin: "I have been living in Liangshan, and I am living a comfortable life here.
, you suddenly sent a message asking me to be the county magistrate, isn't this a joke! My familiar face will be remembered by others, if you fail, I won't even have a way out! Fortunately, you left me a few human skins
I can get through it with a mask. But... the quality is not good, you can see my face is covered in rashes, so I have to pay extra."
Xilou was shocked: "You asked me for money?"
"Otherwise... how about talking about feelings?"
Xilou was so angry that he held his forehead. After not seeing each other for several years, life became more and more real. "Who gave you a wife? Who hired a husband for your son? Who found you a leisurely job? Do you have any conscience? Sheng Nanping
, he sat down and raised the price at the critical moment, so blind!"
Sheng Nanping hurriedly comforted me: "Don't blame me, sir. My wife is strict. She has kept all my salary. It's been too long since I've seen my money. I don't think about food and tea. I'm really aggrieved."
Xilou thought he heard wrongly, but after seeing his aggrieved face, he could only laugh helplessly.
"Sir, let's not talk about these sad things. If you take pity on me, you can give me some compensation when the matter is settled..." He completely ignored the look of amazement from Xilou and continued: "The county magistrate was killed by that Wu before.
Shang was killed, so I forged an imperial edict to temporarily take over, but I couldn't hide it for long. Even though Liangshan was closed, those people didn't expect that I would forge an imperial edict, but I don't know much about government affairs. It's okay to hide it for a while. As time goes by, they will definitely find out.
!So you have to be fast, I don’t want to die here, I still have a wife and children!”
Xilou raised his eyebrows and said, "You have to believe in yourself!" Without waiting for his surprised look, he got to the point, "Tomorrow, I will climb in from the backyard, and you can help me clear the obstacles."
"What do you want to do? You don't want me to be the county magistrate. You look for evidence. You have to go to the back mountain for mining. There is no back mountain. There are so many mountains nearby for you to find. What, why do you want to go to the county government office at night?"
Sheng Nanping stood up in fright.
"Having lived peacefully for several years has made your brain stupid? There are so many mountains, how can I search them one by one? Even if this trip is effective, when I find out that Murphy has returned to Beijing! Naturally, I have to start with the documents."
"Case? Then ... do you want me to find you to find you? Don't stop, I don’t know a few words, don't you find me!"
"Don't worry!" Xilou said helplessly, "I'm not counting on you, not to mention that Mo Fei has too many spies here. If there is any slightest sign of trouble, he might be discovered, so it's not appropriate to conduct an open investigation, you have to conduct a covert investigation!"
Sheng Nanping leaned over and said, "I've seen those documents, they filled two houses! How do you check it and where do you check it?"
Xilou said calmly: "Of course I'm looking for something suspicious."
Sheng Nanping rolled his eyes, this is not for nothing!
As the sun set, the beautiful second day came to an end. Su Yan yawned and looked into the distance with a lantern. The county government office was very dilapidated. Compared to the grandeur of Kyoto, it was like a hut!
Xilou straightened her swaying body and asked worriedly: "I told you not to come, but you came anyway. Now you're fine. Are you sleepy? Go back quickly, eat a bowl of noodles, and then go to bed."
Su Yan suddenly became energetic, "Which of your eyes saw that I was sleepy? I was just frightened by this dilapidated scene," he said, taking a few steps forward and pointing to the lobby to the east of the yard, "Look, it's so upright and bright.
Every word is broken, how poor you are! Logically speaking, the court should know, why is it like this?"
Seeing how she was rambling, she was determined to follow him to the end. Xilou had no choice but to turn his head to look at the dilapidated lobby and said disapprovingly: "Emperor Rong is fatuous and trusts treacherous ministers. He will never see the suffering of the people. Here,
The remote areas are naturally abandoned, even if Mo Fei is here..." Xilou stopped abruptly and subconsciously looked at Su Yan who was beside him in great interest, "If you have business here, you will be exploited by him, and
How can you help Liangshan, don’t you think so?”
Su Yan narrowed her phoenix eyes and stared at him, making him panic. How long was Xilou going to lie to himself? Did he really think that she had long hair and short knowledge, so he couldn't see through it?
She took two steps closer to him, almost leaning against him. She raised her head slightly and cast an oppressive gaze from under her long eyelashes. "When your Majesty sent Murphy to Zhao to obtain the weapons manual, the news spread like wildfire.
When , you suddenly told me that you were going to Chu State and asked me to go with you. At that time, you didn't think that the two things were related, and you foolishly thought that you were considerate of my long absence from home. Until Mo Fei stepped forward
As soon as you left Beijing, I had a vague feeling that your intentions for this trip were not simple. But at that time, because you were going to Chu State with me, I didn’t think much about it. But when you left late at night and appeared in Liangshan
I suddenly realized that all this was planned from beginning to end! It’s hard to tell whether the weapon records are true or false, but it must be your plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. You are not going to Chu State, but to Liangshan. The reason why you are so anxious is that you should
It's because you're worried that Mo Fei's early return to Rongguo will affect your plans, so you don't want to wait for a moment. From this point of view, the weapon spectrum is most likely fake. As for me... I'm just using it to deceive others, right?
?”
Xilou licked his lips, "How can you be sure that Mo Fei went to Zhao State to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and it was not a coincidence?"
"How can it be such a coincidence? If you had not left the city earlier, you would have left the city after Mo Fei left. What on earth did you come to Liangshan for?"
"I said that I have important things to do in Liangshan temporarily, and I will go to Chu State once I'm done. I also have important things to go to Chu State."
"Don't lie to me. As the head of Wan Chao Fang, you have nothing to do with big things, and you don't need to take part in small things. If it's really important, I still believe you when you say you go to Yan Kingdom to fight for the throne. Come to Liangshan? Which one should I look at to see the mountains?
Old friend? If you really have something important, why leave late at night!"
"Of course it's something Zuo Qing told me, so I can't tell you clearly!"
"Don't let up. I already knew what you were doing with Mo Fei, so why bother covering it up now?" Su Yan was so angry that he said, "The clues are all obvious. If I can guess it today, others can guess it too.
It’s easier for Mo Fei to guess that you are too impulsive. At least wait until Mo Fei leaves the border so it’s less likely to be discovered that you have left the capital.”
Xilou's expression was solemn. He knew that he could no longer hide it. "Murphy has many eyes and ears. Do you think there is any difference between leaving a few days earlier and a few days later? All we have to do now is to be quick and find my way before him."
Only by doing something can we take a preemptive strike.”
"What?" Su Yan asked nervously.
"The evidence is enough to bring down Murphy." Xilou suddenly thought of something: "I have always been curious, since you know our affairs, why do you never ask questions or intervene?"
"Why should I ask more questions about what you have decided? Knowing more may not be a good thing. Besides, you all want me to stay out of it, right?"
Xilou was shocked, not only because she already knew these things, but also because her calmness towards these things was truly rare in the world!
Xilou calmed down and said to her: "Let's not talk about this for now. The most important thing right now is that we have to go in."
"How to get in?"
Xilou pushed aside the bushes under the wall and crawled in. Su Yan followed suit without hesitation.
The two of them ducked and walked through the central hall while it was dark. There were very few county patrols, probably because it was a remote town, so there were not many guards, which was a big help.
Following the marks left by Sheng Nanping, the corridor goes all the way north and passes through the backyard. A low building in the west corner of the courtyard is the warehouse where records are kept.
Although there were no obstacles along the way, there were patrols passing by from time to time.
Sheng Nanping gave him the key to the warehouse and sneaked in smoothly. However, the neatly arranged wooden shelves in the room under the candlelight and the stuffed documents immediately made them at a loss. Xilou rubbed the shelf partitions and moved slowly.
, stopped at a raised bronze medal, muttered in a low voice, turned around and went to the next shelf, still using the same method. Su Yan was confused, but knew that he must have a reason for doing this.
, and did not bother. Finally, Xilou stopped in front of the fifth shelf and let Su Yan pass.
He pointed to the words on the bronze medal and said: "This is a document from the past year. You and I will conduct random checks from both ends to find cases of human trafficking, especially those with large numbers of people."
"How do you know for sure what you want is here?"
"There are too many documents in the warehouse. There are two document rooms. The documents here are within five years and the warehouse at the back is for ten years. Each shelf here has a year mark. This column is the most recent time."
Su Yan pulled out a volume from a high place, with a seal on it and a personal name written on it: Shen's Sanniang. The red letters below read: Family Extermination Case.
Su Yan couldn't help but marvel: "The folk customs in Liangshan are really tough. It's so cruel for a woman to kill someone and then kill her family!"
Xilou said: "You don't need to read the sealed ones. They are all tragedies."
"Then we should investigate. Maybe we can find some clues?"
"There are often no survivors in such tragedies. Where do you go to find out?"
Su Yan asked: "Then you can tell me in detail, what are the suspicious ones? How about you tell me what you are looking for, so I can take action!"
Xilou reluctantly put down the documents, "Disappearances, trafficking, and cases involving Linguo people, or weapons reselling."
Su Yan shrugged and concentrated on looking for the documents.
"Missing people, missing people, weapons, weapons, Linguo... Linguo?" Su Yan murmured to himself while looking for the documents. Something suddenly occurred to him and he hurriedly asked Xilou: "Did something big happen to Rongguo?"
"How can I see it?"
"It involves missing people and weapons. I feel like this is a secret military training!"
Xilou couldn't help but raise his face: "Whether you guessed right or wrong, the critical moment now is to investigate the case. We don't have much time, so don't delay."
"Do you have anyone here?"
"Asking even though you know it."
"How far have you come? Are you capable of killing people?"
"Talk less, do more!" Xilou complained.
"Who says I'm lazy!" Su Yanyao showed the case file in his hand in a powerful manner. Seeing that he was anxious, he threw it to him, "The case of the missing people in Nanjie Village is still unsolved. Why don't you check it out?"
Xilou put away the case file, grabbed her, and went straight to the county government office.
"There's no need to be so anxious. Mo Fei is far away in Zhao country. We have plenty of time to investigate." Su Yan fled with him and stood on the empty street. Looking at Xilou's cold face, he shuddered. "
Why are you looking at me?"
"Ayan, from now on, forget all this."
"ah?"
Xilou hugged her shoulders and said seriously: "Both Zuo Qing and I are burdened with hatred. We have lived cautiously for many years, just for the present! Now that all three provinces and six departments are at my disposal, Mo Fei's departure from the capital is the only chance! If it fails,
Thousands of bones will wither! But you have to live well and you can’t be dragged into the water by us anymore.”
Su Yan felt vaguely uneasy, "What exactly do you want to do?"
"Whatever we're going to do, you'd better stay out of it."
"Are you going to kill Mo Fei? What are your chances of winning? What are you going to do next? I can help!"
Xilou took a few steps back and looked at the silly woman in front of him who only thought about others. Thinking of all the previous events, his heart ached violently.
"Why are you so stupid?"
Su Yan said: "I know, success or failure depends on these few days. If you win, I will have a share of credit, and I will also be credited with the merits of eliminating harm for the people. If you lose..." She raised the corner of her mouth,
He disagreed, "If he loses, Rong Guo will definitely become Mo Fei's puppet, and the world will become Mo Fei's world. We ordinary people will be worse off than dead even if we are alive."
But I have taken advantage of you. I knew clearly that you liked Zuo Qing, but I still snatched you away. Why were you still willing to accept it even though you knew that?
Xilou sighed deeply and hugged her, "Ayan, let us do the dangerous things."
Su Yan patted his back gently and said: "When I made up my mind to come here to find you, I no longer planned to stay out of the matter. Xilou, no matter what our end is, I have no regrets." She patted him hard again.
Patting him on the back, "Not to mention eradicating traitors and upholding justice is what the heroine does. This is exactly the wise saying of Master!"
Xilou was in pain and quickly let go of her, "In that case, don't say anything more. Let's set out early tomorrow morning to investigate the case!"
"How to check?" Su Yan asked, following him like a follower.
"It's written in the document that it's Nanjie Village, so naturally we should go there to check." Xilou said from the front.
"There are twenty-three missing people recorded on it. They occurred in different time periods, namely ten in December of the nineteenth year of Wei Sheng and March of the twenty-second year of Wei Sheng. The whereabouts of these people are still unknown. The person who handled the case
The government official's name is He Zhang. What's strange is that with so many people missing, he didn't report it to his superiors, but just let it go. There must be something fishy involved!"
"In December of the 19th year of Wei Sheng, a woman named 'Ranxiang' reported the case, and it was her father who was missing. By the way, the result of that case was very strange. It was said that her father Li Wenji was not involved in the case.
Without Liangshan household registration, he was regarded as a refugee, so the county magistrate dismissed Ranxiang’s appeal.”
"How do you remember it so clearly?"
Su Yan said proudly: "The skill of one eye and ten lines of sight can be passed down from female to male!"
When we returned to the inn, it was already dark. In order to be more secure, Xilou picked a set of clothes from his luggage for Su Yan to change into tomorrow morning. No matter whether he was traveling in the world or making secret investigations, dressing up as a man always saved a lot of trouble.
Then he wrote a secret letter and tied it to the leg of the pigeon left by Sheng Nanping. The pigeon flapped its wings a few times and disappeared into the sky.
Su Yan was curious about what he wrote. Xilou took out two tokens from his bag, threw one to her, and said: "When you wake up early tomorrow morning, you and I are Chen Yong, the doctor of the Ministry of Justice sent by Mr. Sun, the Minister of Justice, to investigate the disappearance case in Liangshan.
and his subordinate Wu Xuan, I will disguise myself at that time so as not to be remembered by others."
Su Yan weighed the token and couldn't help but be surprised: "This amount doesn't look like a fake. Could it be that it was really given by Lord Changsun?"
"Of course it's true, but it's better to be restrained and hide it as a last resort."
When Su Yan saw the token of the Ministry of Justice for the first time, he hid it in his arms like a treasure. He nodded and said, "I still have to hide such an amulet, don't worry!"
